  • 5 cups cold cooked rice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked chicken cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

  • kosher salt only as needed (optional)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by warming 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then pour in the beaten eggs and cook until set.
  2. Transfer the cooked eggs to a cutting board, let them cool slightly, and chop into small pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of grease or oil, then add the cold cooked rice and break up any clumps.
  4. Cook the rice for about 2 minutes until slightly toasted, then pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil and stir well.
  5. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through.
  6. Add the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, and frozen peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  7. Finally, add the cooked eggs and sliced green onions to the skillet, sprinkle with black pepper, and mix everything together, adjusting seasoning with salt if needed.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with the ingredients for a personalized touch! You can replace chicken and bacon with tofu for a vegetarian option or add other vegetables like diced carrots or zucchini. For the best results, use cold, day-old rice, and don't skip the sesame oil; it's essential for flavor! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of soy sauce or water to keep the rice moist. Enjoy your delicious creation!
